1:25Now PlayingTexas Gov. Greg Abbott tested positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday, according to his office, who said the Republican is in good health and experiencing no symptoms.
In a video uploaded to Twitter, Abbott said he was "not really feeling any symptoms right now," which may be due to the fact that he was vaccinated earlier this year.
Spokesman Mark Miner said Abbott is isolating in the governor's mansion in Austin and receiving monoclonal antibody treatment.
The governor's positive test came as cases of the virus soar because of the highly contagious delta variant and hospitals statewide are stretched thin.
It also comes a day after Abbott tweeted a picture of himself not wearing a mask while speaking indoors to GOP supporters.
Abbott has staunchly opposed mask mandates for public schools and this week saw defiant districts in some of the state's largest cities — which are run by Democrats — require face coverings anyway.
